Innovation Vouchers

Funding for VSEs and SMEs for limited technical support in a research centre

Do you manage a SME and do you have an innovative project? Receive an innovation voucher of up to €10,000 so you can have your idea validated or demand an expert assessment in a research centre.

The list of approved centres is currently being updated and will be published on this page as soon as the first approvals are granted. From that moment on, you will be able to use the innovation vouchers again.

Are you eligible?

You are the manager of a small or medium company, which develops all or some of its activities in the Brussels-Capital Region.

Your scientific research project or experimental development project is likely to have a favourable impact on the economy, employment and/or sustainable development in the Brussels-Capital Region.

You must demonstrate your ability to finance your share of the expenses for the research project for which you are requesting funding.

Your company has fulfilled its obligations in the framework of previous aid granted by the Region.

All the details are set out in our regulations.
